Fixed Bollards

Fixed, or static, bollards are best for permanent protection where access is never required. Strong, durable and tamper-resistant, these bollards are ideal for shop-fronts, delineating perimeters, and ensuring pedestrian safety.

• Mounting: Concreted into the ground for maximum long-term stability.
• Versatility: Compatible with 'LockBlock' sockets to allow removable capabilities if required.
• Best For: High-street storefronts, public footpaths, and permanent perimeters.

High-Visibility Bollards

Engineered to maximize visual awareness in high-risk locations including road junctions, pedestrian crossings, and busy commercial zones.

• Mounting: Concreted into ground foundations for robust placement.
• Versatility: Compatible with 'LockBlock' sockets for optional removal capabilities.
• Best For: Junctions, pedestrian crossings, and busy logistics/retail environments.

Impact-Friendly Bollards

Features a spring-loaded pivoting system allowing up to a 45-degree inclination upon contact. Self-resets to the upright position after minor collisions without post damage.

• Mounting: Surface-mounted using supplied ground hoops for simple retrofit installations.
• Limitation: Problem-solving post; not suitable for high-security anti-ram protection.
• Best For: Car parks, delivery bays, and drive-through lanes.

Folding Bollards

Ideal for spaces where access is required temporarily. Operated via a standard 14mm triangle key, the post quickly switches between a flat folded stance and a locked upright position.

• Mounting: Surface bolt-down fixing onto existing concrete pads.
• Limitation: Designed for access control only, not impact resistance.
• Best For: Private driveways, residential developments, and allocated parking bays.

Retractable Bollards

Telescopic bollards that lower smoothly into subterranean ground casings, permitting authorized vehicle clearance without visual clutter when retracted.

• Operation: Smooth vertical movement with integrated locking mechanism.
• Requirement: Requires adequate underground depth clear of utility lines.
• Best For: Commercial access roads, VIP parking, and driveways.

Anti-Ram Bollards

Heavy-duty physical barriers engineered to protect high-traffic pedestrian areas and critical building assets from accidental or deliberate vehicle intrusion.

• Construction: Designed to be backfilled with poured concrete and rebar reinforcement.
• Security Level: Maximum impact resistance for critical perimeter security.
• Best For: Storefront protection, banks, public gathering areas, and high-security sites.

Spacing Regulations (TAL 02/13)

Clear distance between bollard faces must measure between 1,000mm and 1,200mm. This spacing ensures unhindered clearance for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and double pushchairs while preventing standard vehicle penetration.

Kerb Setback & Visibility (BS 8300)

Bollards along carriageways require a minimum setback of 450mm from the kerb edge to avoid vehicle mirror strikes. Under BS 8300, posts must contrast visually with surroundings and include a 100mm high-visibility top band.

Underground Utility Surveys

Prior to deep subterranean excavation, full Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) and Genny surveys must be performed alongside statutory utility records to prevent striking buried power, gas, or telecom lines.

Materials & Emergency Access

Specify 316 Grade Stainless Steel in coastal zones to resist pitting corrosion. Ensure emergency access using LockBlock removable units, folding posts, or retractable systems with standard triangular keyways.
